[00:12.92]I'm heading for a life in the land of the free
[00:14.92]
[00:15.61]Sending every penny home to the family
[00:16.79]
[00:18.42]Off to find fortunes that can't be bought
[00:20.23]
[00:21.24]Now Paddy's struck down from a single shot
[00:23.05]
[00:24.55]Paddy's struck down from a single shot!
[00:26.48]
[00:27.54]They lured the men away they promised wealth and riches
[00:30.17]
[00:40.01]A thousand miles from home lying steel and digging ditches
[00:40.82]The work would be a challenge nary a soul could stand the trial
[00:43.94]
[00:45.13]These wayfaring boys built the railways toughest mile
[00:45.88]Fifty-seven men on the hardest mile!
[00:47.32]
[00:48.07]Fifty-seven men on the hardest mile
[00:49.07]
[00:51.44]Murdered for their troubles, left to die
[00:53.19]
[00:54.26]Immigrant sons from Donegal, Tyrone & Derry
[00:56.38]
[00:57.44]Their numbers were few but they did the job of many
[00:59.26]
[01:00.62]Eight weeks went by and the path was clear
[01:02.25]
[01:16.13]Fifty-seven men had all disappeared
[01:17.25]
[01:19.13]Not a mention of their name no stone was ever turned
[01:21.38]It would be so many years before the truth was ever learned
[01:24.32]Fifty-seven men on the hardest mile
[01:26.07]
[01:30.57]Murdered for their troubles, left to die
[01:32.51]
[01:33.69]Immigrant sons from Donegal, Tyrone & Derry
[01:35.57]
[01:36.44]Their numbers were few but they did the job of many
[01:38.81]
[01:39.56]Now ghosts dance a jig on an unmarked grave
[01:42.13]
[02:29.74]A slug full of lead was the price they were paid
[02:32.99]
[02:34.86]Vigilante justice, prejudice and pride
[02:36.05]
[02:37.55]No one in this valley will be seen again alive
[02:38.36]Fifty-seven men on the hardest mile
[02:38.55]Murdered for their troubles, left to die
[02:38.80]Immigrant sons from Donegal, Tyrone & Derry
[02:39.61]Their numbers were few but they did the job of many
[02:40.49]Fifty-seven men on the hardest mile
[02:40.67]Murdered for their troubles, left to die
[02:40.93]Immigrant sons from Donegal, Tyrone & Derry
[02:41.17]Their numbers were few but they did the job of many
